pead, peadr



  
Purpose 		 
Compute the product of exponentials $\prod_{i=1}^{n}
e^{ad_{X_i}}X_{n+1}$.


Syntax e:=pead(n,max_bracket_order,X);
e:=peadr(n,max_bracket_order,X,B,lbt);

Description
Computes the product of exponentials $\prod_{i=1}^{n}
e^{ad_{X_i}}X_{n+1}$.
peadr, reduces the Lie brackets in the expression to elements in the PHB, and further simplifies the expression according to the supplied Lie bracket table. If the Lie bracket table is an empty list or set, no additional simplifications are carried out.


Arguments $n$ $\textstyle \parbox{0.64\textwidth}{Number of products of
 exponentials.}$

peadr additionally requires:

 dependencies between the brackets in the PHB exist.}$

Examples
In this first example the computation of $\prod_{i=1}^2
e^{ad_{x_i}x_3}$ is considered. Here $x_i$ are Lie algebra indeterminates, and the Taylor series expansion of the exponential $ad$ operator is computed up to brackets of order two.
> pead(2,2,x);

  x[3] + g2 x[2] &* x[3] + 1/2 (g2 x[2] &* g2 x[2] &* x[3]) 
  
  + (g1 x[1] &* x[3]) + (g1 x[1] &* g2 x[2] &* x[3]) 

  + 1/2 (g1 x[1] &* (g2 x[2] &* g2 x[2] &* x[3]))

  + 1/2 (g1 x[1] &* (g1 x[1] &* x[3]))

  + 1/2 (g1 x[1] &* (g1 x[1] &* g2 x[2] &* x[3]))

  + 1/4 (g1 x[1] &* (g1 x[1] &* (g2 x[2] &* g2 x[2] &* x[3])))
For the next example consider the P. Hall basis B of the example for the function phb on page [*]. The computation of $\prod_{i=1}^2 e^{ad_{B_i}B_3}$ yields,
> pead(2,2,B);

  f2~ + (g2 f1~ &* f2~) + 1/2 (g2 f1~ &* (g2 f1~ &* f2~))

  + (g1 f0~ &* f2~) + (g1 f0~ &* (g2 f1~ &* f2~))

  + 1/2 (g1 f0~ &* (g2 f1~ &* (g2 f1~ &* f2~)))

  + 1/2 (g1 f0~ &* (g1 f0~ &* f2~))

  + 1/2 (g1 f0~ &* (g1 f0~ &* (g2 f1~ &* f2~)))

  + 1/4 (g1 f0~ &* (g1 f0~ &* (g2 f1~ &* (g2 f1~ &* f2~))))
Note that the above computation does not yields an expression whose elements are in the P. Hall, if this additional simplification is required then using peadr we obtain:
> peadr(2,2,B,B,{});

                                2
  f2~ + g2 (f1~ &* f2~) + 1/2 g2  (f1~ &* (f1~ &* f2~))

                                   2
         + g1 (f0~ &* f2~) + 1/2 g1  (f0~ &* (f0~ &* f2~))

Note that in the above example the degree of the highest order brackets is three, unlike when pead was used, where the highest order brackets are of degree five. This is due to the fact that peadr calls reduceLBT to make simplifications, thus brackets in the series expansion whose order is higher than max_bracket_order are eliminated.
